2014 Cakeleeg Draft - Pay up, SoCalBroncoFan (2 Viewers)

[Doctor Detroit]

Explain this bracket draft thing to me like I'm GM.

Pick teams. Seed X rd =payout from each guy. Only actually pay the differences once tourney is over. Some ppl get killed. Draft has to be done in 3 days due to turnaround of selection Sunday to tourney. Most of the normal league is drunks and whatever the hell you call Brong/SLBD so that gets interesting. Usually Derek and/or FDAS holds our hands to make it happen.

Most awesome poster in FBG history?

Accurate

I get periodic emails from him that are just

What a character.

Once showed up around the 6th rd of 8 rd draft and didn't care that we skipped 1st 5 picks and just rattled off 6 teams and continued drafting from there.

Shuke,

It's pretty awesome. Makes filling out a bracket super boring. Cav won $1100 a couple years ago. People can get screwed and lose several hundred also. It's awesome.

outside of Jansen, I don't have any closers, so if you haven't handcuffed yours yet, I'd be wary.

20.10 Brian Wilson

Chad Qualls RP HOU

 

[Premier]

Are you related to Chad Qualls?

 

[Premier]

This is Qualls' 6th team since 2011.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Qualls is Kevin Gregg without the flare.

 

[Premier]

Chad Qualls is like a pitcher who holds leads, except he blows them.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Tough crowd.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Chad Qualls is the guy that you hope isn't your last option for the 7th inning at the trade deadline.

 

[Premier]

Chad Qualls is happy to be drafted by cosjobs so he can be on two last-place teams full of Astros this year.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Chad Qualls once saved a game because it was called because of a bomb threat.

 

[Chemical X]

chad qualls eats innings, is a gamer, is a clubhouse leader, is gutty and gritty and his father was a coach.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Chad Qualls' mom thinks Chad Qualls is a terrible reliever.

 

[cosjobs]

I expect 12-20 saves and I'll need them, since Rodney will probably give way to Faraqhar by June

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Chad Qualls is known as the best farter in the bullpen.

You sound like a man that would like to wager on his fantasy prowess.

 

[FDAS]

I expect 12-20 saves and I'll need them, since Rodney will probably give way to Faraqhar by June

I expect you to weep tears for everyone one of Jesse Crain's 47 saves this year.

Do you promise to keep Chad Qualls on your team all year?

 

[General Malaise]

I texted my selection to GM 15 minutes ago.

Chad Qualls RP HOU

I thought you were kidding. Qualls couldn't throw up, let alone attempt a baseball.

Wouldn't they have to win 47 games to reach that number? Seems iffy.

 

[trogg78]

I can't believe they would name a kids show Doc McStuffins. It sounds like a porn name.

Daughter is watching McStuffins on the ipad right now

I thought I had a really good team until GM posted that spoiler. His team is really awesome.

sorry about that. Great job at keeping the 2nd post updated. Of course it does me no good when I'm out drunk.

Thanks again.

 

[John Bender]

/incredulous via text that Mark Melancon has been drafted shtick also sucks

 

[Mr. Pickles]

I'm a little surprised Melancon has been drafted myself. Just not "are you fucking with me?" surprised.

 

[John Bender]

You're a good man for putting up with that text exchange. Thanks Pickles

 

[Mr. Pickles]

You know what? I am a good man.
